minnesota. i will be joined by the mayor of st. paul, melvin carter, and be joined by questions at the end of the statement by john harrington, commissioner of the department of public safety. last may 25, the world watched in horror as george floyd's life and humanity were taken from him with a knee on the neck. the pain and anguish of the floyd family was bared to the world, as was minnesota's pain and anguish, and obvious failures, especially when it came to race and policing. a short time ago, police officer derek chauvin was found guilty of murder of george floyd, and was taken away. and sentencing will soon follow. it is an important step toward justice for minnesota. the trial is over, but here in minnesota, our work just begins. this is the floor, nothing of where we need to get to. i want to thank you folks involved in this, and this trauma that has spread from 38th and chicago, across our state, our country and our world. i would like to thank minnesota attorney general keith ellison f

we know this in minnesota. our state was thrust into the international spotlight following the death of george floyd. our deep racial inequities were exposed for the world to see. for many white minnesotans, it was an awakening to a truth that minnesotans of color have known their entire lives. while our state ranks as one of the best places in the country for a white child to grow up, it often ranks as one of the worst for a child of color. as many minnesotans welcome getting back to normal, we must acknowledge this and recognize that for too many, getting back to normal is not good enough. it is not good enough for a single mother who is working two jobs just to feed her family. it is not good enough for a student in a small town who has to do her homework at a local restaurant because she does not have good internet connections, and it is not good enough for young black men who live in fear of being stopped by police officers who have sworn an oath to protect them. in his speech, dr. king spoke about how the

all of minnesota mourns with you. this year i'mma speaking to you from a classroom at mankato west high school. there are many reasons to give the state of the state address from his classroom. i taught social studies in the classroom for nearly a decade. my wife taught english right upstairs. i've always said teaching is and just how i pay the bills it's how i live my life and for me being in his classroom today signifies the progress we have made in ending this pandemic. throughout this year when i've been asked what i'm looking most forward to when the pandemic. is over i have answered hearing the laughter students and a lively school hallway. brighter days are here and even more we are winning the fight against covid-19. more than 1.5 million a few have received the vaccine. over 80% of our seniors have been vaccinated outperforming the rest of the nation. two-thirds of our educators and childcare workers have received their shots and starting tuesday i'll minnesotans 16 years and over will be eligible to get the

minnesota. july 13, 1945 at 6:13 p.m. >> that's an important time. and who are your parents and what are their occupations? >> i've got several parents. my mother was married three times. my biological father was clarence ellis taylor. he was originally from fort wayne, indiana. my mother was eula teresa vassar originally from birmingham alabama. -- from coming ham, alabama. my second stepfather was washington from minnesota. my third parent was john e murphy from st. paul, minnesota. they were married already five years. i consider him -- they were married 35 years. i consider him my father. my mother was a housewife. back in those days, he was the provider and he would provide for my mother and raised us as a housewife. mike stepfather worked for the postal -- my stepfather worked for the postal system. >> and you have siblings? who were they? >> re-siblings. my older -- oldest brother is deceased, clarence born in 1940. i was born in 1945 at the close of the war. my younger brother vance was

paul, minnesota. minnesota's capital city. i have read many times and heard many times -- >> we'll go now to vice president kamala harris. joe biden is there as well. let's listen in. vice president harris: this verdict brings us a step closer and the fact is we still have work to do. we still must reform the system. last summer, along with senator corey boork and representative karen bass, i introduced the george floyd justice in policing act. this bill would hold law enforcement accountable and help build trust between law enforcement and our communities. this bill is a part of george floyd's legacy. the president and i will continue to urge the senate to pass this legislation. not as a panacea for every problem, but as a start. this work is long overdue. america has a long history of systemic racism. black americans and black men in particular have been treated throughout the course of our history as less than human. black men are fathers and brothers and sons and uncles and grandfathers and friends and neighbors. their liv

i'm just black here in the state of minnesota. i just want to make sure people know how serious it is, and the world is watching this state right now. so let's not play around. i mean especially this year with legislation. i have two bills right now being heard in the house of representatives tomorrow in judiciary committee. one of them is house file 1103, which allows families access within 48 hours of unredacted body-worn camera footage in policing critical incidents, right? >> well, john, listen. i don't think you're psychic because i didn't -- you know, i don't know if you watch the show, but i usually have an open way i talk about it. i sort of give people a roadmap of where we're going and where we are as a country. and i was going to say it's not -- i mean it may seem odd that brooklyn center is ten miles away from minneapolis. but this happens in every community. it was bound to happen again. you mentioned alton sterling. i'm from baton rouge, louisiana. my nieces and my sister and my brother-in-law knew alton sterling, no

we had a previous caller from minnesota talking about elected officials in minnesota. among those that spoke yesterday after the announcement of the verdict was the attorney general of minnesota, discussing the need to end racism and what he calls unaccountable law enforcement. this is what he had to say. [video clip] >> this verdict demands us to never give up the hope for change. generations of said slavery would never end, jim crow would never end, that women would never be equal to men, that if you are different you could never be an equal member of our society, but today we have to end this travesty of recurring enduring deaths at the hands of law enforcement. these are things we have to focus our attention on. as i close, i want to say to you, the work of our generation is to put unaccountable law enforcement behind us. it's time to transform the relationship between community and the people who are sworn to protect them from one that's mistrustful, suspicious and in some cases terrifying to one that is empathetic, compassionate and affirming. that will benefit e

this case is not called the state of minnesota versus the police. this is not an anti-police prosecution. it is a pro police prosecution. >> what is your reaction? >> i think that it really depends on the verdict, how that is looked at. i applaud the prosecution for what they said today. if it is a guilty verdict, what they said will be true in a lot of minds. if it's not guilty, then i think it will go back to, this was about policing. so i think it really depends on that verdict. so it is so important on how this case pans out. >> listen, even. in. you had multiple people from the police department testifying against chauvin's actions, including the police chief, does that show this case, you know, it's different than other officer-involved killings at least? and maybe the potential, depending on the outcome that it can have on policing? >> i think it is. we've never seen anything like it in our country. so i applaud each member of that police department for standing up with courage and saying we're going to speak up on what's right. we'll speak a

. >>> all right, people are on the streets of brooklyn center, minnesota. but so far there's nothing approaching anything like violence. thank you for watching the coverage. we'll pick up with "cnn tonight" and its star d. lemon. the question once again in another community is are we going to see justice or is this about what happens to just us? >> that's a good question. and the question is what is going to happen later tonight? hopefully nothing. protests, that they're peaceful, no rioting and nothing that is -- that can harm the community. i'm going to get to it, though, chris. i'm going to get to our developing news that's happening. this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. and let's look live. this is the fourth straight night of protesters in the streets of brooklyn center, minnesota. and we're watching at this hour because there's a curfew going to take effect in one hour. and usually around this time things will start to happen because it gets close to the curfew and people are confused what time had curfew had been. they'd been moving it up and moving

you can see the pictures there from brooklyn center, minnesota. our miguel marquez is live in the middle of the protest. miguel, what are we looking at right now? >> you are looking at minnesota state patrol and their vehicles that are moving slowly up humboldt street trying to move the crowd north. john, come over to the right. you can see this is sort of the remnants of the crowd that is here. many of them are on their knee. it's a small number of individuals that are facing off with police. the police making announcement after announcement that this is an unlawful assembly. this woman just in front of us is hands in the air. and they want to show them that -- police -- that they can be out here, that they are voting with their feet. they are showing the police with their feet by being here and standing for daunte wright, that they own the streets and that they have equal rights on these streets. listen to this. >> you are in violation of statute 609-705 unlawful assembly. if you do not disperse you'll be arrested. if you interfere with peace of

senator of minnesota. and he encouraged me while i worked with him at the law firm, to run for the u.s. senate. he supported me for president. he was there every step of the way. and i think when you talked about geraldine ferraro. it wasn't just me. i think every little girl at the time knew that anything and everything was possible. just like when kamala was standing on that stage. and i remember what geraldine ferraro was wearing with her red dress and pearls. he asked her to be the running mate. he's someone that believed his job after he left office, after getting defeated as you so well explained and running for president, it didn't end there. he saw his job as passing on the torch to the next generation of leaders. so many people, when they lose political office, just fade away. not him. he was a pillar in our community. and he stood up for what he always did, and that was the title of one of his books, "the good fight". >> as somebody who embodies the idea of upright decency in public service. ambi

shannon: the 10:00 pm curfew, in minnesota time, correct. obviously minnesota time. so it hasn't reached the 10:00 pm curfew the city of minneapolis issued more than 5 hours ago now they continue to say, don't think these are idle threats. to be unlawful -- arrested for unlawful simply and committing acts of violence we are going to do that as well so it seems to me they know how quickly this got out of control you tonight and don't want these images, some of these stores, we will show people later on have just been rebuilt from last may's riots and just been restocked with alcohol, in some cases other goods and things they do for people in the community. a lot of small business owners are fed up. they don't want to go through this again. it is heart wrenching. . i want to turn now -- right in the middle of it. the dominant here is a >> we are seeing a lot of back and forth, still a few hundred rioters going back and forth with the police department, you should multiple warnings for the crowds to disperse and they have not and national guard truck a group of 80, stil

he only won his home state of minnesota. when you look back at mondale's influence, he was a true statesman. he first came on the national political stage in 1964. u.s. senator. after hugeert humphrey became vp. in later years he went on to become an ambassador to japan and president clinton. he lost the bid to return to the senate as a last-minute fill-in after the death of paul wellstone in 2002. the passing comes on a night when his state is again in the national spotlight. walter mondale, the 42nd vice president of the united states is dead at the age of 93. if you're wondering, why do you know, i watched that convention. i was there. i was seated next to his wife. and my father gave the key note address. that was my pop's big speech. it was done to boost walter mondale's chances. he was a good man who served this country with head and heart. we'll take a break and then we'll be right back. ♪ (ac/dc: back in black) ♪ ♪ ♪ the bowls are back. applebee's irresist-a-bowls all just $8.99. you know when your dog is itc

this case is not called, the state of minnesota versus the police. this is not an anti-police prosecution. it's a pro-police prosecution. >> what's your reaction, captain? >> i think that it really depends on the verdict how that's looked at. i think i applaud the prosecution for what they've said today, but i think if it's a guilty verdict, then i think what they said will be true in a lot of minds. but i think if it's not guilty, then i think it will go back to this was about policing. >> yeah. >> so i think it really depends on that verdict, and so it is so important on how this case pans out. >> listen, even if that, though, captain, you had multiple people from the minneapolis police department testifying against chauvin's actions, including the police chief. i mean does that show that this case, you know, is different than other officer-involved killings at least and maybe the potential -- maybe the potential, depending on the outcome as you said, that it can have on policing? >> i think it is. we've never seen anything like it in our country i

last night 79 people were arrested in brooklyn center, minnesota. joining us now from brooklyn center is nbc news correspondent ron allen. ron, you led us off last night. what is the difference tonight? >> lawrence, it just feels a lot more intense. there is a smaller crowd, but there just seemed to be a lot of energy there. in the last hour since nightfall, we've seen projectiles, rocks and bottles going one direction, rubber bullets, other projectiles coming from the police as well. it goes on and on. if you take a close look, you can see it again, that fence over there which is the entrance to the police headquarters which, again, has been the focus of the protesters and the police and national guard. there is a significant national guard presence again there tonight. troops in camouflage and heavy militarylike vehicles back there, again trying to protect this place and keep the protesters back. all of this comes down to the next hour. what will happen in the next hour as we approach curfew? will the police and national guard decide to push and c

my name is keith ellison, attorney general of minnesota. since the prosecution of this case began last may, everyone involved has pursued one goal -- justice. we pursued justice wherever it led. when i became the lead prosecutor, i asked for time and patience to review the facts, gather evidence, and prosecute for the murder of george floyd to the fullest extent the law allowed. i went to thank the community for giving us that time and allowing us to do our work. that long, hard, painstaking work has culminated today. i would not call today' is verdict justice, however, because justice implies true restoration. but it is accountability, the first step towards justice. and now, the cause of justice is in your hands. when i see your hands -- when i say your hands, i mean the people of the united states. george floyd mattered. he was loved by his family and friends. his death shocked the conscience of our community, our country, the whole world. he was loved by his family and friends, but that isn't why he mattered. he mattered because he was

people on the streets of brooklyn center, minnesota. but so far, there is nothing approaching anything like violence. so, thank you for watching. the coverage will pick up with "cnn tonight" and its star, d lemon. the question, once again, in another community is, are we going to see justice? is there -- or this about what happens to just us? >> yeah, well, that's a good question. and -- and a good question is what is going to happen, later tonight? hopefully, nothing. protests, that they're peaceful. no rioting. and nothing that is -- that can harm the community. i am going to get to it, though, chris. i'm going to get to our developing news that's happening. of course, we know this is happening. this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. take a look. this is the fourth-straight night of protests in the streets of brooklyn center, minnesota. and we are watching, at this hour, because there is a curfew that's going to take effect, in one hour. and usually, around this time, things will start to happen because it gets close to the curfew. and

host: the minnesota attorney general yesterday. more reaction from minnesota's congressional delegation yesterday on twitter. a democratic senator tweeting, "convicting derek chauvin for the murder of george floyd is a moment of accountability and a moment to recommit ourselves to the movement for racial justice this tragic murder sparked." saying millions of people took to the street because we cannot look away from the reality of george floyd's murder in new change had to come. we need to rethink public safety so black and brown people and all people feel safe and protected in their homes, neighborhoods, and communities. this is the work ahead of all of us. and from a republican saying, for the past 12 weeks 12 of our minnesotans listened to the evidence presented by the prosecution and defense. i think our jurors for their service. it is my greatest hope we find the strength to unify our communities and move forward together. our nation's leaders especially have an obligation to turn down the temperature and reject rhetoric that

in minnesota. curfews for minneapolis and st. paul and three minnesota have been in effect for several hours. we have seen teargas in response to bottles and fireworks launched at the police. we are tracking the second night of unrest with freezing rain late tonight. the killing of duante wright a black man on a traffic stop in minnesota, accidental. it all happen in the middle of the trial of the former police officer charged with murder of joy to mike george floyd last year. mike tobin joining us live from brooklyn center, minnesota, good evening, mike. >> good evening, shannon i can tell you here in front of the police headquarters in brooklyn center is considerably more calm than a short time ago. if you look behind me, what you see is police vehicles and a number of police officers, national guardsmen standing just maintaining that common front of the police headquarters. much different scene, hundreds and hundreds of protesters who came out on the street. a number of cops, i should say in the right gear as well. they went b

of minnesota. and one of the things that i think is worth remembering at times like this, is that his path, his putter from preacher son and small town minnesota device presidency, it's easy to sort of see the beginnings and see the engine sort of the pinnacles that he reached in public life. but in his time as attorney general for the state of minnesota, in his time as senator in minnesota, he just bill brick-by-brick, a solid decent scandal free record of accomplishment. and bravery. he was a senator doing the great society legislation. and that meant that as a high-profile senator and leader of the time, he was key to getting so much civil rights legislation passed. so much key environmental protections passed. the reason jimmy carter picked him to be his running mate among other things, was because he was a known and proven effective public servant and leader. and as senator klobuchar said, even after leaving national office remained a mentor and friend and pillar both to his party and to the p

in minnesota, police fired tear gas, rubber-coated bullets, and stun grenades as protesters defied a curfew and took to the streets of the minneapolis suburb of brooklyn center for a second straight night. they were demanding justice for daunte wright, a 20-year-old black man shot dead by a police officer during a traffic stop sunday. state authorities have identified the officer who killed wright as kimberly potter, a 26-year police veteran who has served as the police union president for the department. she has been placed on administrative leave. on monday, brooklyn center police chief tim gannon claimed potter accidentally pulled a gun instead of a taser. he also played an excerpt of body camera footage showing the police shooting. >>1 taser taser! taser! i just shot him. amy: according to "the star tribune," daunte wright is the sixth person killed by brooklyn center police since 2012. five of the six have been men of color. on monday, the director of the minnesota chapter of the council on american-islamic relations joined calls for officer kim potter to face criminal charges.

that single gunshot caused the clashes last night with police in minnesota. and what we're seeing tonight, the kind of night that has become all too sadly familiar to the people of minnesota since the police killing of george floyd there last year. one of the jurors in the trial of derek chauvin for the murder of george floyd which completed its 11th day today is living under that curfew tonight, in that minneapolis suburb of brooklyn center where daunte wright was shot and killed by a police officer yesterday. the curfew went into effect at 7:00 p.m. tonight. the chief of the brooklyn center police force said today that when he showed -- said this today when he showed police body cam video of the shooting that the killing of daunte wright was an accident. the chief identified the officer who fired the shot as a woman who is a senior officer in the department. the state's bureau of criminal apprehension has now officially identified that officer as kim potter. she's a 26-year veteran of the police department. the police chief said that she thought she was rea

brooklyn center, minnesota. police warning protesters to disperse. they're demanding justice for daunte wright fatally shot by police during a traffic stop. that was on sunday night. the mayor saying the police officer who fired the deadly shot and the police chief of brooklyn center submitting letters of resignation earlier today. not far away in minneapolis in a courtroom there, the defense in the derek chauvin murder trial presents its first witnesses, including a use-of-force expert testifying that chauvin was justified in kneeling on george floyd's neck for nearly ten minutes. we want to get right to the scene now in brooklyn center, minnesota. miguel marquez is there. is the crowd still out? police still advancing? what are you seeing? >> reporter: the crowd is still out. but take a look at this picture right now, don. this gives you a sense of what conditions are like out here. it has been snowing off and on all day, sometimes very, very heavy, very sort of driving snow. it is still snowing. it is cold. a lot of people aren't dressed properly,

it is an important step towards justice for minnesota. the trial is over, but here in minnesota i want to be very clear, we know our work just begins. this is the floor, not the ceiling of where we need to get to. >> leading off our discussion tonight minnesota government tim walz. governor thank you very much for joining us on this very important night and a historic night for your state. what can you tell us about your phone conversation with president biden today? >> good evening, lawrence. i think all of us know president biden's compassion and basic human decency, certainly needed that, and i think the two of us speaking in the minutes after the verdict was read -- i don't know if relief is that, but i could hear in president biden's voice a hopefulness that we got something that i think, as the prosecution said, we all saw, we all knew in our heart, and i think president biden, just like i've been talking about, as the floyd family pain was laid bare to the world to see, so with minnesota's pain and our failings. but we know we can

we are going to begin tonight in brooklyn center, minnesota, where protesters have gathered in the cities near the city's police headquarters. we are going to be joined by ron allen who is there at the scene. ron, what is the latest situation there? >> reporter: lawrence, we have a lull at the moment. but where we are here we're down the street from the police station. just a little ways. you can see there in the distance but the crowd left this area and gone back there and now standing in front of the police again. it is this face to face standoff that's been going on for hours now. and they're not leaving. in the last half hour an exchange of tear gas. the protesters are setting off fireworks. you could see some things being thrown over the fence there and now you can perhaps see here in the distance people are starting to run this way again. here they come. and i can see a big plume of smoke over the court yard, the front yard in front of the police headquarters there. i don't smell any irritant in the air at the moment but again this is going on all night. periodically the police come

what we're seeing tonight, this isn't minnesota. okay? i spend a lot of time in minnesota. everybody knows that. i repeat it too often. i have extended family in minnesota. i'm there every summer. okay? this is not -- what we're seeing right now is in columbus. you have any point earlier. yeah, now in what we're seeing now is in columbus. this is expanded. protesters have broken into police headquarters, matt, going to your point. police had it locked by handcuff now. this is going to be going on coast to coast as newt gingrich said unless they stop it. unless they use appropriate legal force to stop the criminality. it's going to spread. >> yeah, look at -- breaking in to a police station. we know they did it as you mentioned earlier. we know what happened in minneapolis. they broke into a police station and burned it almost to the ground. the cops abandoned it basically. had to run for their lives. now we're seeing the same kind of things. i thought that attacks on government buildings, that counts as an insurrection. that's what we were told january 6. what happened janu
